→ Warranty
Unscrew the two screws on the bottom. You have to break the warranty seal to reach the second screw. Pull back the lower part of the case. This allows access to the upper part of the board.
To get access to the lower part you have to unscrew the three screws on the PCB. Afterwards, you have to slide back the PCB slightly (with some force) to get clearance in the front. You can then carefully lift the PCB.
